Air Lease Corporation (NYSE: AL) (the “Company”) announced the pricing today of its
public offering of 300,000 shares (the “Shares”) of 6.00% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative

preference of $1,000.00 per share. The sale of the Shares is
expected to close on September 24, 2024, subject to satisfaction of
customary closing conditions.
The Company will pay dividends on the Shares when, as and if

the offering of the Shares, the “Prospectus
Supplement”) as of the most recent reset dividend
determination date (as defined in the Prospectus Supplement) plus
2.56% for each reset period (as defined in the Prospectus
Supplement) from, and including, December 15, 2029, provided, that
the dividend rate per annum during any reset period will not reset
below 6.00% (which equals the initial dividend rate per annum on
the Series D Preferred Stock), payable quarterly in arrears on
March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year,
beginning on December 15, 2024.
The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of the
offering to redeem its outstanding 6.15% Fixed-to-Floating Rate
Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A, and use any
remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may
include, among other things, the purchase of commercial aircraft
and the repayment of existing indebtedness.
